We are just a day away from the official kick-off of the 2015 Arkansas high school football season. Week #1 features some great games put together by Hooten's Arkansas Football. In addition to the Hooten's Classic games, we will see some great match-ups put together by coaches and athletic directors.

The Hootens.com Classic kicks off on Monday (August 31) as Lafayette County and Bearden tee it up at Golden Lion Stadium at the University of Arkansas - Pine Bluff (UAPB). Golden Lion Stadium will then see a contest between Smackover and Warren. Monday will also see non-Hootens Classic games between Stuttgart and Arkadelphia in War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock while Vilonia will travel to play Sylvan Hills.

The Hooten's Classic continues at Razorback Stadium on the campus of the University of Arkansas on September 1 as Alma collides with Fort Smith Southside in the first game. The classic will conclude with traditional power Shiloh Christian facing off against two-time defending 3A champion Charleston. Other games on Tuesday include Greenbrier visiting Beebe, Central Arkansas Christian @ Arkansas Baptist, and Danville @ Dardanelle.

As always, we encourage you to find a game near you and support your local teams. We have listed the games by conference below, so you will see most games twice. Unless noted, all games are Friday, September 4. There is a Saturday game.

Arkansas high school football teams are gearing up to start up the real season after a fun summer of 7-on-7 and camps. Most schools in
Arkansas started classes today while the football teams have already
been sweating and hitting for about 2 weeks. We are gearing up for the
season by publishing our annual conference-by-conference version of the 2015 Arkansas high school football schedule
available on one of our page links in the left column. In addition, we
have completed the scoreboard links for the 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014
(also in the page links).

The
schedule page contains an open date summary for those still looking to
fill a schedule, but that will go away as the open dates pass. The
schedule page will also morph to the 2015 Arkansas high school football
scoreboard page as the games are played. Each week during the season, we
will have an individual post for the games scheduled that week and a
results page. We will once again highlight the high scoring teams and
identify any surprises.

Before the 2015 football season kicks off in a couple of weeks, we thought we would highlight the retailers currently carrying Saturday Morning Wake-Up Call. The book is carried by all major (and some minor) retail outlets. As always, we recommend purchasing the eBook from Smashwords for a few of reasons: (1) Smashwords pays us higher royalty percentages; (2) When you purchase from Smashwords, you can switch eBook eco-systems without having to buy your books again (you own the book, but you don't have to use a Kindle, Nook, etc.); and (3) Smashwords supports independent authors in ways not found at the other big book sellers. In any case, we are happy with any purchases. Here are the links for the eBook pages for these retailers:

We have enrolled the book in the "Kindle Matchbook" program with Amazon. If you buy the print edition through Amazon, then you can buy the Kindle edition of the book FREE. If you choose to buy from another retailer, then let us know. We will send a gift copy of Saturday Morning Wake-Up Call from Smashwords.
